I presume someone has a clever solution for that.
You see, there have been people who do "stupid
pet tricks" with hard drives, like install every
OS in existence on the drive, use a whole bunch
of logical partitions, and people like that would
likely use up all the drive letters (A to Z). I
don't know what comes after Z :-)

Of course, it's been around for a long time already. Windows allows you
to mount hard drives as subfolders under other drives, just like with
Unix/Linux. This works okay, but there are a few problems. Windows own
utilities, like Resource Monitor, don't support drives without drive
letters. You will not see ResMon monitoring these drives.

Windows is still sort of set in the mindset of drive letters, even after
all of these years.
